  • Kknyrie Kkn (@Kknyrie) reported

    @BlizzardCSEU_EN can you respond please the LC-208 server error has got me permanently suspended from Season 1 of competitive in Overwatch 2 pls help me

  • gakamsky David Gakamsky (@gakamsky) reported

    @krembeni Theres that inherent asynchronicity to overwatch imo, the clean borderline cartoony visuals just dont mesh with a lot of the darker things the series casually mentions or implies and then never elaborates on. It makes the world feel kinda broken and shallow.

  • ItsChaBoy69 ItsChaBoy (@ItsChaBoy69) reported

    Yo Microsoft when you officially own Activision Blizzard can you fix overwatch 2 by adding all the cool **** back like end game cards and the blood level system, and also fix the skins I don't wanna grind 8 months to get a single legendary skin.

  • Fatmanbad David (@Fatmanbad) reported

    @yheebi I thought the bad randoms on apex was a problem but the bad randoms on overwatch are a different breed, these people straight up despawn after the game, straight npcs.

  • SoulsGrafiken Shirøi Økami (@SoulsGrafiken) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @OverwatchDE Please fix the login problem in overwatch 2 it is really annoying for everyone LC-208 and LC-202

  • ManuXzo i GOT DA DRIP (@ManuXzo) reported

    @rreexhz @UpdateApex they prolly gonna do like overwatch nad let u merge ur **** in some way if apex legend 2 will ever be out but tbh sounds like too much problems for a feature that is 12 times easyer than all the **** they trying to do to not introduce the normal feature

  • spiritualfairie Alice 🤍 (@spiritualfairie) reported

    @JustFinax @instagram Oh omg wait 😭😭 Nahh that issue was months ago and very quickly fixed lmao I’m struggling with overwatch and all rn and been asking for help everywhere so I thought it was aboug that!! LMAO

  • Revokis R͎e͎v͎o͎k͎i͎s͎ (@Revokis) reported

    Tanks are broken in overwatch

  • zastier Zastier (@zastier) reported

    @DaSilvaKore @SimmerZozo Even with the smooth patch, overwatch, errortrap and a mile long list of config tweaks the game will regularly stutter, freeze, Sims will take ages to do anything, speed 3 and 4 will break the game. And no, it's not my PC that's the problem.

  • Scenify_YT Scenify (@Scenify_YT) reported

    @PLUTOFNN2 No, never played overwatch 1, first time playing and I have those skins aswell, so confused must be a glitch but im fine w/ it

  • Tr4shyWrites Tr4shyWrites | Chapter Yellow Part 12 Out! (@Tr4shyWrites) reported

    There’s the same questions and the same issues plaguing RWBY as Overwatch had, but one was made by Blizzard, a billion dollar company, and the other was made by Rooster Teeth, a million dollar company with “humble roots” It just doesn’t make sense to me why we can’t agree…

  • Meowhi_ Meow (@Meowhi_) reported

    Decided I wanted to try Overwatch 2 and as I login with the 2step verification Blizzard immediately lock my account lol

  • Daveycrits Daveycrits (@Daveycrits) reported

    My 7 yr old could log into Overwatch 2 right now no problem but because I've ::checks notes:: supported the franchise since day 1 I'm blocked because I have a linked account that worked fine up until Thursday. What happened Thursday? Nothing! Tried logging in! Fix yer game!

  • Novacastle Kristian Vidal (@Novacastle) reported

    @PlayStationUK why has your 22.02-06.02.00.004 update now given me network lag and rubberbanding across my games? Specifically CoD and Overwatch?! My network hasn’t changed, the only difference was that update! Completely unplayable now. #ps5 #lag #shitupdate

  • Dmagi_14 Dónal 🇮🇪 (@Dmagi_14) reported

    I need Overwatch to fix my career profile asap. Like 200 hours of quick play is missing and now It says I’m a Roadhog main 🤢

  • Antsamon Antton (@Antsamon) reported

    I'm going to wait for the mid season balance patch and then decide if I'll uninstall Overwatch 2, but knowing Blizzard the patch will be hella stupid and it will create more balancing problems than it fixes, and somehow make the already absolute trash balance even worse

  • GrassKnotts 💛 Dr. Spoopid PhD., Professor of Halloween 🥞🦇🌈 (@GrassKnotts) reported

    I've been enjoying Overwatch 2 lately, surprising even myself, but the fact that now there's no way to earn cool skins except for the battle pass which just makes you earn the same skins as everybody else is kind of lame, it feels like I'm not working for anything worthwhile.

  • The_Vibe_Check The Vibe Checker™️ (@The_Vibe_Check) reported

    It’s been 13 days and my Overwatch account is still in a queue to merge. Support was no help at all at trying to fix this. Do I just send another support ticket at this point??? @BlizzardCS

  • MsSteelyXBL Steely (@MsSteelyXBL) reported

    @PlayOverwatch / @BlizzardCS — Why has no one addressed crashing on Overwatch 2 for the Xbox Series? Please, if you have a recommendation on how to resolve the issue I’d love to hear it. I’m sure I’m not the only one still having issues.

  • ryuscout ryus (@ryuscout) reported

    @SamitoFPS new huge overwatch league strategy: copy sojourn as echo so you have 2 broken dps on your team 😯

  • KassieMuse Kassie🤘🏼🖤✨ (@KassieMuse) reported

    Overwatch 2 not allowing gamers with prepaid cell service plans to play is classist af.

  • Deqir_ DeqirXXXL (@Deqir_) reported

    I’m never the issue when I lose an overwatch comp game cause why all the dps add me after the game over and I don’t be using my mic?

  • Servilus_ Servilus (@Servilus_) reported

    Haha, I sure hope no server issues happen with Overwatch tonight. :)

  • ZBXanile ZBX (@ZBXanile) reported

    @DandyflossVT Damn this bug must be a bigger issue than I thought.. I don't even play Overwatch 2

  • BasharDaher7 Bashar Daher (@BasharDaher7) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch I have been playing Overwatch 2 and I have been enjoying it. I play competitive and my PS5 randomly shuts down for no apparent reason. No other game does this but Overwatch 2. I am now suspended permanently for comp. Please fix this issue.

  • Marcel38377125 Marcel (@Marcel38377125) reported

    @taimouow Making aiming more hard I’m overwatch but there’s much less room for error in valorant because of how quickly each team can kill each other. I promise any overwatch 2 player here would be *** at valorant for their first week

  • Drax122 Dustin Dailey 🍂 (@Drax122) reported

    Most of the changes that they've made/heroes they've added to Overwatch has nearly completely ruined the game for me. Don't even get me started on how absolutely broken Orisa is now.

  • JasonAlicea16 Jason Alicea (@JasonAlicea16) reported

    @BlizzardCS How about fixing the LC-208 login error in OverWatch 2 and other bugs in the game as well then worry about enforcement.
